I've been in the Veterinary field for 10 years now and have been creating a list of my favorite things! I have a section of things I use everyday when I'm in the clinic, and I mean EVERYDAY at work. I could not do my job confidently and efficiently w...
Have anything you think I should try? I'm always open to new suggestions from fellow techs! Leave me a comment and I'll try it out!

Things I use EVERYDAY at the clinic...
Get the most compliments on your shoes (and they're super comfortable too)! ** EDIT** 4/6/24 - I just bought these AGAIN!! I have worn the old pair so much, I wore out the heels. So, what do you do? You replace them with the same pair!! Just got them...
Skechers Women's Comfort Flex hc Pro Sr Shoe
Where are my wide calf ladies at?! These are a game changer if you're on your feet all day!!
Wide Calf Compression Socks 15-20 mmHg
Ok, hear me out!! They aren't the sexiest, but these are the most comfortable underwear to wear to work. Hands down! They don't ride up, they help keep my tank tucked in, and the fit makes me feel like I have a little tummy control without the uncomf...
wirarpa Women's High Waist Cotton Briefs 4 Pack
Great gifts for Vet Tech Week! My tech friends LOVED getting their very own pair of bandage scissors! ✂
Set of 10 Nurse Doctor EMT Bandage Scissors 5.5"
I ALWAYS have a pair of these in my pocket! Works great for cats and small dogs (can we say Doxis and those curled nails?!)
H&H Pets Nail Clippers - Cats & Dogs - XS
Ear temps are so much easier and I've proven it to only be up to a degree off. (Still take rectal temps if pet is sick)
Braun ThermoScan 6 Digital Ear Thermometer
Extra ear probe covers for your ear thermometer! This will be handy to have if your clinic won't stock these for you.
500pcs Ear Thermometer Probe Covers for Braun
This is another great gift idea for Vet Tech Week! These were a hit this year with my Tech Friends!
Jutom 72 Pcs Nurse Pen Set with Badge Reel
Hands down the BEST app for quick drug calculations! Type in the drug the Dr is prescribing, type in the weight and the dosage the Doc wants and PRESTO!! The app will do the work. They are also working on their desktop version which will be a game ch...
Vetcalculators - Veterinary Drug Calculators for Emergency Drugs, Anesthetics, CRI's, Fluid Therapy, Calories, Chocolate and much more
Where are my inventory peeps!?! This is a game changer when it comes time to count all that Metronidazole or Gabapentin. You have to make sure you're taking the pictures on a blank background so the app doesn't mistakenly add the background details a...
Pilleye – tablet, pill counter - Apps on Google Play
As far as scrubs go, these Scrubstar scrubs aren't half bad! They're actually some of the most comfortable scrubs I've purchased and had to wear. I like them better than the Grey's anatomy scrubs and even better than Figs!
Scrubstar
Ok, Ok. I may not use these EVERY day. But these are, hands down!, the best safety glasses to use when performing COHATs on patients. I love that they have the little feeties for your nose! Those hold down my face mask just right so my breath doesn't...
Bolle Safety Silium+ Safety Glasses
Things that make Clinic life easier...
Freezing at your station? This little heater can warm you up in no time! It kicks out a good amount of heat and can make a small room (office?) nice and toasty!
BLACK+DECKER 1500W Portable Space Heater
These are great for jotting down signalment or notes from an exam. We used these to keep track of the info we needed to run our labwork when it wouldn't load automatically. These have a lock switch on the back of the tablet so you can't erase it unti...
[2 Pack] TIQUS 8.5 Inch LCD Writing Tablet, Black
We just started using these at my clinic this last month! I was skeptical at first. Didn't know how this was going to improve my work life, but it's rather useful! We have these located at the end of our treatment tables and we have our scrub, alcoho...
Set of 4, 10 Inch Non-Skid Lazy Susan Organizers
This has been pretty AMAZING! We were skeptical when we first got this, but we figured it was only 32 bucks off of Etsy, so wth? But this sheet has been pretty phenomenal to use. You can change the drop down menus of drugs used to tailor it to your o...
The Oliver-Frey Anesthetic Record
I can definitely tell when my diffuser runs out! The cats always get extra cranky with eachother 🐱
FELIWAY MultiCat Calming Refill - 3 Pack
I use this to give my cat a lion cut! He loves his hair-do and this is the only clippers that haven't cut his fragile skin!
WAHL Arco Cordless Clipper Kit, Champagne
Clips on the Wahl clippers nicely. I ALWAYS recommend having two clipper blades when shaving an animal. One one the clippers and one cooling down on an ice pack.
